Awful.
Clumpy on face and leaves a grey tinge.

Glass skin anyone?
If you like glass skin, this is an absolute must-have! It's an extremely lightweight, yet hydrating cream that melts into the skin, leaving nothing but radiance and protection behind. My complexion looks perfected and feels so smooth. My skin looks clear, balanced, and fresh! Bonus points for the SPF protection! I highly recommend adding this to your routine!

Very good SPF moisturiser
Decided to invest in a moisturiser with added SPF - I do like Paula's Choice products so tried this one. I have combination skin and found this worked well for me, it sinks into my skin really nicely without leaving any residue and gives good protection. I would recommend this product!

Paula's Choice does it again!
I'm a massive fan of Paula's Choice products so I was really excited to try this moisturiser with SPF. I love to wear this under makeup but also on its own when I'm having a no makeup day. My skin looks glowy but most importantly is protected from the sun whenever I wear this!

This is a fantastic spf primer that plays well with other products. I thought it had been discontinued but happily it appears I was wrong!

Gives me a nice glow
I purchased this after seeing on tik tok. I use with the BHA and feel this combination gives my skin a nice healthy glow. I often wear this on no make up days also as gives a filter to the skin

By far the best
I have tried a few tinted moisturisers/ SPFs, & this is my favourite, over foundation - in the Summer especially; this Paula’s choice one is by far the best I’ve ever used. You can layer it with multiple other skincare products, and you have zero pilling; it makes you look put together but also very dewy and “no makeup”y if that makes sense. I could rave about this all day!
